Product: VisionCheck2
Top Line: EyeQue, a leader in smartphone vision testing, announced the upcoming release of EyeQue VisionCheck 2, a powerful refraction device available for consumers to test their own vision and order new glasses with the results without leaving the safety and comfort of home.
Close Up: VisionCheck 2 is a lightweight optical smartphone attachment and mobile app. The test results are expressed as EyeGlass Numbers (EGNs), the lens-power needed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, which can be used to order new eyeglasses from many online retailers.
“We’re proud to offer a solution that is making a positive impact in people’s lives and provides them a means to see more clearly without having to leave the safety and comfort of home,” said John Serri, PhD, co-founder and president of EyeQue. “This next-generation VisionCheck was born from two years’ worth of R&D shaped by customer feedback, including hundreds of testimonials and thousands of survey results. Our team has optimized every aspect of the vision test, from an entirely new form-factor to the reimagined test screens, leading to a markedly better user experience.”
Vital Stats: Included with the EyeQue VisionCheck 2 is the EyeQue PDCheck which instantly and accurately measures the distance between the centers of the pupils of your eyes. Pupillary distance is a critical number needed to order good fitting glasses. Once EGNs and PD are achieved, U.S. customers have the option of ordering EyeQue Try-On Glasses,  a low-cost, quick-shipping pair of test-glasses custom-made with your vision test results, so you can experience your EGNs before shopping for new glasses online.
As adoption for telehealth technology accelerates, eyecare professionals can use the device for remote vision testing and to issue eyeglass prescriptions without requiring an in-office visit. Patients’ data is securely stored in the HIPAA-compliant EyeQue Cloud, and ECPs can access data visualization maps to make assessments, customize prescriptions, and monitor patient recovery.
Based on MIT and EyeQue patented technologies, EyeQue’s intelligent vision solutions allow people to self-administer an expanding portfolio of vision tests using an optical smartphone attachment, mobile application, and a secure cloud-based processing and service center.
EyeQue refraction tests do not replace a comprehensive eye exam that evaluates ocular health and binocularity. EyeQue strongly recommends people visit an eyecare professional annually to receive a complete eye health exam.
The EyeQue VisionCheck 2 is available for pre-order on Kickstarter with pledge levels starting at $57. The product will ship to backers in Q2 2021.
